What is the best device or method to display my HP Envy laptop screen or iPhone 13 screen to my Samsung television using wireless? I would like to watch SEC+ or ESPN+ simultaneously while using my laptop for other tasks. Thanks for the technical information/knowledge that I don't have.

Roku or Apple TV is a pretty affordable way to get there

How does the Roku work?

With a Roku, you do not need to mirror your laptop or phone. It plugs into the USB port on your TV. Download the ESPN app, sign in with your cable credentials and you will have access.

If you have a newer Samsung TV, you don't need anything. Go to your TV's app section and download ESPN and login like above.

Thanks to jgabby and EMY92 for your great responses!

I have a Roku that is about 5 years old. Do I need a newer version?

I think it will still work as we also have an old one.

Hopefully the OP doesn't mind if I put my semi-related question here.

I was watching the Ag baseball game on my older Samsung in my bedroom on ESPN+ app (SEC+ tab) with no issue. I was gonna watch the end of the game in the living room on a newer model Samsung but I couldn't get the game to load.

ESPN+ opens. I opened golf and some random basketball games to test and they opened properly.
It seemed to be just items under the SEC+ tab.

I'm sure it's an easy fix but I'm not seeing it. Thoughts?
